Hi Everyone: I am new to this message board. I have these brothers coming to Canada some earlier than others. Many of them worked for the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) here in Canada. 1) Patrick Corcoran b. abt 1787 came over in 1811 as a Red River settler and joined the HBC in 1819. 2) John Corcoran b. abt 1791 joined the HBC in 1819. 3) Thomas Corcoran b. abt 1794 joined the HBC in 1819. 4) Richard Corcoran b. abt ??? came over to Canada in 1821 from letter wrote by Thomas Corcoran to brother Patrick in 1821. 5) Edward Corcoran b. abt ??? came over to Canada in 1821 from letter wrote by Thomas Corcoran to brother Patrick Corcoran in 1821. One of the 16 letters mentions a uncle Edward Corcoran in the States (US). Also mentioned in a letter is a brother Matt Corcoran passed his examinations at Apothecary Hall in Dublin from letter wrote by Thomas Corcoran to brother Patrick Corcoran in 1821. The above John Corcoran is my 3rd grt grandfather. I have no idea who the parents were to these brothers??? According to the Hudson Bay Company's bio. sheets they were from the Parish of Crosamolina Ballina in County Mayo, Ireland. Looking for the Parents of these brothers and other decendant's of these Corcoran brothers and *sisters. *Also in a letter in 1819 it mentions some sisters also but no names in Canada. I have no idea who they were as of yet. Thank you Brian
